Statue of Our Lady of Fontenay, Fontenay Abbey, Marmagne, Cote d'Or, France. This Cistercian abbey was founded by Saint Bernard of Clairvaux in 1119, built in the Romanesque style. The abbey itself housed 300 monks from 1200, but was sacked during the French Revolution. The statue of Fontenay's Virgin Mary is in the northen transept arm of the abbey church. It dates from the late 13th century and is an example of Burgundian statuary. Mary carries Jesus in her left arm and her right hand...

I was initially attracted to the world of journalism and photography because it felt real in a world that can at times feel ruled by money.
It felt unbiased with no agenda. It felt like a subject to study in university and a profession to have that was pure and full of compassion. To observe humanity, gather the facts, and share that with the world. It didn't feel fueled by making more and giving less. It felt so far from the business world, I thought.
Naive… I didn't see that starting my own photography business would put me RIGHT in world of it. I am now more part of it than ever before.
Though I see that business can also be real with no agenda, just to observe, gather what the needs are and solve them. Business can be done in a pure sense and can be done in a really lovely way.
And this is how the world moves so at least I get to be my own boss.

I've had a few people ask me what type of pasta can they eat. The answer use to be none beside spaghetti squash or making zucchini noodles but now we have real Paleo pasta!!! It taste more like a whole wheat noodle but none of the horrible wheat and gluten. Enjoy!
Recipe serves 2 but is super filling!
1/4 cup flax meal
6 tablespoons hot water
1 egg
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 1/2 cups flax meal
4 tablespoons coconut flour
1/4 cup arrowroot powder
In a bowl combine 1/4 cup flax with hot water then stir in applesauce, egg and salt.
Pour remaining flax, coconut flour and arrowroot. Use extra arrowroot if dough is too sticky. Knead dough until well mixed.
Boil pot of salted water.
Roll out dough as thinly as possible between 2 sheets of parchment paper. Use knife to cut dough into strips. Boil noodles for 20 seconds. Strain and serve warm with ghee and chives or pasta sauce.

Well it took some time but eventually the cyber underlings of the Lyft and Uber propaganda engines have successfully temporarily taken us out of commission.
The work was brilliant. I'm still having trouble pinning down what ever IP addys accessed my wordpress install but who ever made the changes to the previous package contents was a bit too quick and sloppy.
I know this pales in comparison to Uber and Lyft making money from the suffering and death of passengers and pedestrians alike but it is moments like this when you realise the gravity of the situation.
At the very least, I know I must be doing something right.
Fortunately we do have backups of all of our content.
Expect a full reboot soon.

Once upon a time, there were two very good friends,
Who matched on tinder, thinking there'll be no dead-ends,
His heart was broken and wanted to see if she mends,
She was gregarious and was looking for utopian weekends.
Long chats on WhatsApp transformed to prolonged late night calls,
She loved chilly mountains & he could always be seen on book stalls,
He had dated a lot of girls but she was the one who rang his bells,
She too was attracted as he infatuated her brain-cells.
Then finally the day arrived for their very first coffee date,
Caramel mocha of Starbucks was making their time fortunate,
From there, they went on a long ride on his new UM Renegade,
They fell for each other deeply before heading to their homes straight.
One day, he didn't pick her calls, a thousand times she tried,
Next day she heard an abysmal news that her beloved is no more, he died,
Though she was strong, yet the ground beneath her surface earned a slide,
"Dad, I still love him and wanted to be his bride", she cried.
She grew numb and pale, knowing if it's true, she strived,
To her cold comfort, neither his whereabouts nor he arrived,
To add insult to her injury, her fair-weather friends made her feel more deprived,
She isolated herself, showed no signs of improvements, only his memories she revived.
Three days passed by, she tried slitting her wrist with a knife,
As getting married to someone else was now her familiar strife,
Next day the door knocked, he was standing there with full of life,
As he was not riding that day & preferred sitting on pillion seat to drive.
She hugged him tightly and wept & rejoiced his touch which made her alive,
He kissed her on forehead and proposed to be his wife,
She kissed him back all over his face and said 'YES' to make their story thrive.
You don't have to understand it, You just have to have faith...
Faith in DESTINY
Because what is meant to be, Will always find its way.

Can't say I enjoyed this show very much. I forced myself to go and found it largely uninteresting. Part of it was that I was on vacation on Cape Cod and drove off the Cape into Mansfield. Traded fun in the sun for uninspired music. We left during Mickey Hart's jaw-droppingly awful set.

Your cart is empty.:( Let's fix that!Close
Between a parent and child, communication is everything. From the moment a parent locks eyes with a newborn baby, they are engaged in the most intense communication feedback loop that anyone will ever know. The quality of that communication undergirds the child's sense of self and potential for happiness.
Communication is the big stuff, and it's also little stuff. Communication is the sum of all of the small, day-to-day interactions we have with our children, from "Good morning" to "Let's get your shoes on" to "I love you" to "Please pick that up...are you listening??" A raised eyebrow, a hug, a sigh, a look, a nod -- those all count too. Indeed, it's the cumulative effect of all these utterances and gestures that matters. So although no single impatient moment will do lasting harm, it is nonetheless worth examining the overall quality of our humdrum, daily interactions with our children -- for it is in their repetitiveness that they have so great an impact.
In his very wise book, The Childhood Roots of Adult Happiness, child psychiatrist Edward M. Hallowell writes:
Connection, in the form of unconditional love from an adult, is ... the single most important childhood root of adult happiness. Other types of connections -- with friends, school, religion, extended family -- can create an unshakable foundation upon which you can build an entire life.
Connection, in turn, is based on communication, and that's what we are thinking about this week at Being Savvy. How do we talk to our children and how do we listen to them? How do we communicate with their teachers and caregivers? How we can cope with powerful and sometimes negative emotions that inevitably arise, and still find a way to communicate and connect with our kids? How are we communicating through our actions as well as our words?
We hope you'll join the conversation!
Absolutely right........bang on! I have communicated with my child since I knew I was expecting. And believe me, it really works like magic. We (me and my husband ) can communicate just about anything with her and so can she.....

Business magnate Mark Cuban recently gave us a "teachable moment" when he expressed his enthusiasm for Mitt Romney
In essence, Cuban believes that Mr. Romney will prove to be an effective president because he's been a very successful businessman; Cuban feels confident that Romney will bring to the White House the same skills as a negotiator and dealmaker that he honed at Bain in Boston.
The problem here isn't merely the magical thinking that Cuban engages in when he believes that Romney will bring bipartisan comity to the Capital. Rather, Cuban has confused the job of being president with the job of being a private equity fund manager. The president does not function as the CEO of the nation, and Cuban--and many others--perpetuates a dangerous misperception when he suggests that he does.
For starters, the nation is not a business, despite the rhetoric we hear from Mr. Romney, nor should it be. Businessmen make money, and Mr. Romney made a lot of it. Presidents must make policy.

From Ovid to Malcolm X, The Ladies Magazine to Punch, Mary Wollstone-craft to Anita Loos, William Hazlitt to D. H. Lawrence, Thomas Carlyle to Brett Easton Ellis, Fanny Burney to Jean Genet, Virginia Woolf to Milan Kundera, dress has stimulated comments at all levels - whether witty, ironic, moralistic, critical or simply sensual. Using letters, journals and memoirs, as well as novels, poetry and plays, and covering over four hundred years of writing, including British, Irish, American and European literature, The Pimlico Companion to Fashion is surely the ultimate collection about dress.

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y. — FreshDirect, a leading online grocer, today announced the addition of 29 new communities in New Jersey's Essex and Union counties in October and November 2010, tripling its presence in the state.
To mark the occasion, company CEO Rick Braddock made the first deliveries to the mayors of Cranford, Springfield and Montclair on Tuesday. The mayors donated the food to local food banks.
Orders for delivery to Essex County will be accepted on Sept. 30 for delivery on October 4, and delivery will begin in Union County Nov. 1. Loved by over 600,000 customers in New York and Connecticut, and already available in eight communities in Hudson County, FreshDirect's fresh-from-the-farm food and brand name groceries will now be available to more New Jersey residents. New customers who register at www.FreshDirect.comwill enjoy $25 savings off their first two orders.
"FreshDirect has experienced strong growth since entering New York City eight years ago. Ninety percent of our New York City customers say they would reorder from FreshDirect and this is a testament to our reputation for excellent service, and the freshest, highest quality food," said Braddock. "We're excited about serving more communities in New Jersey and beyond."
For the first time, FreshDirect is available to New Jersey residents in Livingston, West Orange, Upper Montclair, Caldwell, Maplewood, South Orange, Verona, Glen Ridge, Cedar Grove, Fairfield, Millburn, Roseland, Short Hills, Essex Fells, Montclair, Bloomfield, and Nutley in Essex County beginning Oct. 4.
In Union County, service will be expanded in November 2010 to Westfield, Summit, Cranford, Scotch Plains, Berkeley Heights, New Providence, Springfield, Fanwood, Roselle Park, Mountainside, Clark and Garwood. FreshDirect will continue to deliver to Cliffside Park, Edgewater, Hoboken, North Bergen, Weehawken, Union City, West New York and Jersey City.

Tag: web 2.0
A view of what Government 2.0 could be (courtesy of ZD Net)
What does Government 2.0 mean? Does it merely entail government agencies embracing the use of multiple social technologies and community platforms? Is it reflective of a more open, engaging and inclusive approach to governance? Or does it epitomise the beginning of active citizenry in all public affairs?
As I'll be moderating a Gov 2.0 session on 'Connection' next week at Govcamp, I thought I should dig in deeper into this topic. For a start, here's a definition of what Government 2.0 means according to Gartner

Blogging singer Genie sharing what tickles her fancy at Blogout
Just came back from Blogout which was a big social media bash at Geek Terminal attended by (who else) 2.0 geeks and celeb bloggers galore! The night was certainly interesting, with a veritable who's who in the blogging scene making their appearances including Tomorrow.sg's founder James Seng, STOMP's editor Jennifer Lewis, Ping.sg's creator Uzyn, Moblog's originator Yoke Chin, Global Voices' Preetam Rai, Kevin Lim of Theory Is The Reason and lots more members of the blogerati.
I certainly had fun moderating the panel discussion which talked about "A New Voice", though it did go a little chaotic at times. My conclusion was that the crowd seemed to have more fun chatting with each other! Well, I guess that's the spirit of the whole 2.0 movement, where EVERYBODY participates in the conversation. It's "All Star Anything Goes" (for those old enough to remember that celebrity slugfest).
A special treat for the evening was having upcoming blogging singer Genie treating us to a music video of hers, hottest mummy contestant eastcoastlife sharing what makes her so special, and also hearing from celebrity STOMP blogger Joe Augustin. Nice to also know that we have upcoming technopreneurs in Singapore making their mark in the web 2.0 universe. Finally, it was great to meet Veron, DK and Dr Leslie Tay of I Eat I Shoot I Post fame, all big-time bloggers in their own right.
Special kudos go to Estee for the fabulous organising and professional emceeing of this event, as well as other digital movers like Ming Yeow, Su Yuen, Swathi, Chern Jie and all the other hardworking folks at The Digital Movement who made this possible.

3. Malware Forms
Malware has been evolving into more and more insidious forms ever since its creation as a virus in 1970s. These malware forms fall in one or more categories of malware mentioned in the previous chapter.
Computer Viruses
First ever form of malware, a computer virus is a piece of code that is designed to replicate by attaching itself to a host program. The behaviour of attaching itself to another file is key to the distinction of a virus from other malware. A virus also requires some type of user interaction such as running an infected program or opening an infected file. Once a virus is executed it will attempt to spread to other files. Viruses do not rely on system vulnerabilities to spread but instead rely on functionality that is commonly used by other non-malicious software.
Worms are often confused with viruses since they self replicate like viruses. There are a number of distinctions that separate worms from viruses and other malware. Worms are stand-alone applications that do not attach to or infect another file. Worms typically do not rely on a user executing a program instead they rely on vulnerabilities in software to allow them to spread. Worms typically spread across networks without user intervention.
Trojan Horse
Trojan horse software operates differently than advertised. Typically, a Trojan will be advertised as a useful tool such as a browser plug-in but carry additional unwanted malicious code with it. The malicious code may damage the system or open a back door that an attacker can use later to attack the system. Trojan horse applications do not self replicate A sub form of Trojan horse is known as a Remote Administration Trojan (RAT). A RAT has the same characteristics of other Trojan horse programs but specifically allows control of the system by an outsider. RATs are often installed by exploiting security vulnerabilities in the operating system or web browser when visiting infected web.
Keystroke loggers
Keystroke logger, as the name suggests, records keystrokes on the target system, which could be then sent remotely to someone other than the computer's user. This type of malware may overlap with any of the previously mentioned types of malware. Keystroke loggers may steal data such as passwords, financial data or any other data entered through the keyboard.
Browser Hijackers
Browser hijackers change a browser's settings. This is often an attempt to increase the number of hits to the publisher's web site or to re-route browser requests through the hijacker's proxy server. Browser hijackers can also be used to gather information about the user without their consent. Finally, browser hijackers may change the user's search functionality within their browser. In short, they can take total control of the browser for malicious purpose.
Spyware is broadly defined as any software that collects, subverts and reports information about a user to a remote attacker without the user's knowledge.
Adware is often associated with spyware because both types of software have similarities in function and purpose but they are not the same thing. At its simplest, adware is software that is advertiser supported. The problem with adware is that some cross a line and transform from being advertiser sponsored software to spyware. What makes malicious adware unique from other forms of malware is that it is advertiser driven. Adware may monitor a user's web browsing habits and report them to a central database or force advertising on the user based on the browsing habits. Some adware may change the way that the browser works or may change default browser settings. Specifically adware may change the user's home page or search settings. Some adware will initiate popup advertising on the infected computer. A common form of adware that can be malicious or benign is the browser plug-in. Plug-ins are software that extend or change the functionality of a web browser. Most adware plug-ins consist of a search toolbars.
Bundleware is simply software bundled with other legitimate software. Bundleware is a common source of both spyware and adware. Bundleware will often disclose the inclusion of malware in the EULA, but this is not a guarantee. In some cases, bundled software may be installed without any agreement from the end user or warning about what will be installed. Even if the EULA discloses the bundled software, it may do so in a confusing or overly broad manner.
Blended Threats
A blended threat is malware that uses multiple attack vectors to install itself. Unlike some other forms of attack, blended threats do not require any interaction on the part of the end user. Blended threats specifically look for security weaknesses as a way of spreading. While many forms of malware rely on an end-user running or installing malicious software a blended threat will take attack code for known software vulnerabilities and include it in an automated malware attack. Blending of attack methods makes this type of malware a very efficient spreader. Code Red and Nimda were extremely efficient examples of blended threat malware.
Scareware/ Rogueware
This malware form is a wolf in sheep's clothing. There are fake programs that claim they can remove malicious files and restore computer performance. In many of these situations, the user is browsing to a site and they get some notification that they are infected with some form of malware. While there may be malware on the system, rogue programs do not detect actual instances of malware. Instead they make false claims and in some cases they run a fake scan that takes only one or two seconds and then a message is displayed stating hundreds of malicious items have been found infecting the system. The user is then directed to download and purchase a program. While there are programs that are inefficient or very mediocre at removing malware, rogue programs do not even attempt to remove malware or improve system performance. In some cases they is play more annoying advertisements or download more malware on to the system. Rogue software programs are very difficult to remove from the system.
The shortest definition of a rootkit is software that allows an attacker to mask his presence on a system while allowing the attacker access to the system at a later time. The term rootkit originally referred to a collection of tools used to gain and keep administrative access on UNIX systems. These tools usually included trojaned or modified copies of important system binaries that were modified to hide the actions of an unauthorized user from the system administrators. With Microsoft Windows, rootkits have a narrower definition. Rootkits in Windows refers to programs that use system hooking or modification to hide files, processes, registry keys, and other objects in order to hide programs and behaviours. In particular, Windows rootkits do not necessarily include any functionality to gain administrative privileges. In fact, many Windows rootkits require administrative privileges to even function [2]. They are known to be the most sinister of all malware due to their stealth feature. They make their presence invisible to the operating system and as well as most of the anti-malware products available in the market. As a result, other forms of malware make use of rootkits to remain hidden and carry out other malicious tasks they are intended for.Once installed, rootkits can:
1) Hide processes.
2) Hide files and their contents.
3) Hide registry keys and their contents.
4) Hide open ports and communication channels.
5)Capture keyboard strokes (keylogger).
6) Sniff passwords in a local area network.
Rootkits can be broken down into two major categories:
1) User mode rootkits.
2) Kernel mode rootkits.
Kernel mode rootkits are much more difficult to create as well as detect as compared to the user mode rootkits.

An important theme of the Men's Health Conference held every year by the Louisiana Men's Health Organization is that men can and should be more proactive about their health.
At this year's conference — the organization's 10th — hundreds of men on Saturday visited Pennington Biomedical Research Center, where they got free health screenings, heard from physicians on the latest medical news and learned a lot about their own, individual health.
Missed the conference? Or just need a review of some of the information shared?
Try this quiz based on a sampling of some of the men's health information made available there.
1. It's rare, but testicular cancer is actually the most common cancer in males between the ages of:
(a) 55 and 70
(b) 25 and 40
(c) 20 and 35
(d) 65 and 80
Answer: (c) Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men between the ages of 20 and 35. It's important to do a testicular exam every month, preferably after a hot shower or bath. Look for lumps or bumps. It's normal for one testicle to be slighter larger than the other. Also tell the doctor if you have a dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin. Testicular cancer is almost always curable if caught early and treated.
2. True or false? Someone with pre-diabetes will inevitably get Type 2 diabetes.
Answer: False. By cutting back on fat and calories in the diet; exercising about 30 minutes a day, five days a week — brisk walking is a good way; and losing weight, pre-diabetes can be reversed, meaning that Type 2 diabetes can be delayed or completely prevented.
3. Which of the following is a medical reading in the normal range?
(a) Blood pressure of less than 120 over less than 80.
(b) Total cholesterol of less than 200 mg/dL (milligrams per deciliter)
(c) "Bad" cholesterol of less than 100 mg/dL
(d) "Good" cholesterol of less than 40 mg/dL (for men)s
(e) Triglycerides less than 150 mg/dL
Answer: All of the above.
4. A checkup schedule that includes a blood-pressure check every two years and a complete physical; cholesterol test and screening for cancers of the thyroid, testicles, lymph nodes, mouth and skin every three years is a good routine for men, beginning in their:
(a) 20s
(b) 30s
(c) 40s
(d) 50s.
Answer: (a) The above is a good checkup schedule for men in their 20s. In their 30s and 40s, men should move the complete physicals up to every two years. In their 40s, men should also have screenings for prostate cancer, if in a high-risk group, as well as an annual stool test for colon and rectal cancer. In their 50s, men should add a sigmoidoscopy or colonoscopy, to screen for colon cancer, every three to five years.
5. True or false? The symptoms of a transient ischemic attack (TIA) are distinctly different from those of a stroke.
Answer: False. A TIA is a "mini stroke" that has the exact same symptoms of a stroke but usually lasts only a few minutes. About 15 percent of strokes are preceded by TIAs, so don't ignore them. Call 9-1-1 or seek emergency medical help if you experience sudden weakness or numbness in the face, arm or leg; sudden confusion and trouble speaking or understanding; sudden trouble seeing; dizziness, loss of balance, trouble walking; or sudden, severe headaches with no known cause.
6. When detected and treated early, colorectal or colon cancer is curable:
(a) 75 percent of the time
(b) 50 percent of the time
(c) 90 percent of the time
Answer: (c) Colon cancer is curable 90 percent of the time when caught and treated early. Beginning at age 50, both men and women should have a colorectal cancer screening. Those with risk factors such as family history of the disease should talk to their doctor about earlier or more frequent screening. Different screening tests include the fecal occult blood test; sigmoidoscopy, which checks the lower part of the colon; colonoscopy, which checks the entire colon; and a double-contrast barium enema.
7. True or false? The symptoms of high blood pressure are hard to miss, for the average person.
Answer: False. High blood pressure, which increases the risk of heart attack and stroke, usually has no symptoms; it's called the "Silent Killer." Get blood pressure checked regularly by a doctor. Prescription medication; exercise; and meals low in saturated fat, cholesterol and fat are ways to treat the condition, as are limiting alcohol to two drinks a day (one, for women) and losing weight, if overweight.
8. True or false? It doesn't much matter what kind of clothing you cover up with, to stay out of the sun.
Answer: False. Densely woven, bright- or dark-colored fabric offers the best protection from the sun. A thin, white T-shirt, for example, provides an ultraviolet protection factor (UPF) of about 5. Blue jeans, on the other hand, have an UPF of approximately 1,700.

Jerry is crazy. Not "ex-boyfriend" crazy, but certifiably, bat-shit crazy. He has stopped taking his meds, much to the chagrin of his psychiatrist, and has started hearing voices that manifests through his subconscious as his cat and dog talking to him. Bosco, the dog, is like the good angel on Jerry's shoulder and Mr. Whiskers, the cat, is like the bad devil on his other shoulder, arguing back and forth, capturing the inner turmoil of a sick human being. It may seem like a light-hearted comedy on the surface, but underneath is something much darker and perplexing. If David Lynch made a comedy, it would look something like this candy-coated nightmare.
Ryan Reynolds is actually quite spectacular in the role of Jerry, along with the voices of Mr. Whiskers, Bosco, the deer, and more. Reynolds is unpredictably convincing at playing this crazy, high strung, socially awkward character. Every day is a "Manic Monday" for Jerry, but all the girls in accounting interpret this quirkiness as sexy and mysterious. When Jerry "accidently" kills the office hottie Fiona while on a date, he must deal with the complexities of loving the feeling even though he knows it is wrong. It is bloody and exciting. Can he control the voices or will he do it again?
There is something very intriguing and contradictory about Jerry's character. He kind of reminds me of Norman Bates from Psycho with his naivety about murder and multiple personalities. It is one of those movies where you don't know who to root for; even though Jerry is a murderer, he is hard to hate. He teeters on the line between good and evil, unfortunately this line gets severely crossed. When Jerry takes his pills he sees the world as it is, instead of the fantasy world that audience experiences throughout the film. Birds chirping, sun shining, butterflies fluttering. It's an interesting concept to see these two worlds collide.
Reynolds carries this character-driven film effortlessly. The imagination and humor depicted through talking animals (and a decapitated, talking head) show a thought-provoking portrayal of mental illness. While the preview highlights the hilarity of the subject, the actual film shows a surprisingly disturbing look into the mind of madness. It is awesomely bizarre. The dancing, choreographed credits is only icing on the cake.

Customers still complaining about consignment storePosted: Updated:
PHOENIX -- 3 On Your Side keeps getting complaints about a well-known Valley consignment business.
Terri's Consign and Design has been here in the Valley for years and eventually grew to 10 stores.
However, the business's owner admits she is struggling. She has closed down several stores to make ends meet and she's asking customers to bear with her.
"I'm glad to say that we're working very hard to get everyone caught up and we're on the way and Terri's is back in good standing," Terri Bowersock said in a 3 On Your Side report in May.
Bowersock acknowledged she had problems paying some of her customers.
"These people will all get paid," she said. "As a matter of fact, it's all going to be right in a month."
But two months later, 3 On Your Side is continuing to receive complaint after complaint from people who say Terri's Consign and Design sold their belongings but that the store never passed on the proceeds to them.
"We consigned wine racks, antique video arcade, miscellaneous bar stools and furniture, silk plants, several items," Jodi Malenfant said.
Malenfant is one of the dozens of people who wrote to 3 On Your Side looking for answers.
"I'm really upset because they sold my items and they were paid for and we haven't seen any money," she said.
So 3 On Your Side sat down once again with Bowersock to find out why so many of her customers are still complaining.
"We're facing something we have never seen before," Bowersock said.
Bowersock blames the sluggish economy, saying that after she pays most of her overhead there's little cash to pass on to the customers she owes.
But she also told 3 On Your Side that she is determined to stay in business and pay her customers.
"We've got our corporate office up for sale," Bowersock said. "We've downsized and we've only got four stores so we had to take some really quick action to get out of that."
That quick action, she says, also means she hasn't paid herself in three years.
Bowersock says she's taking corrective measures and doing what she can to get her customers paid, something she says she doesn't take lightly and believes putting the issue on TV doesn't help.
"If you want to take a company down, this is how to do it " Bowersock said.
But customers like Malenfant say they deserve to know what's going on and although she has answers now, she'd still like to be paid soon.
"I'm very upset that they sold my furniture and are withholding our money and I don't think it's fair," she said.
"We're going to do everything we can do to stay in business and we are going to stay in business and get everyone paid," Bowersock said. "That is my promise."
Bowersock says because she has downsized her staff she only has one person answering her phones. So if you're a customer and you'd like to know where your money is, she recommends e-mailing her at email@example.com


text: On 2 March 2016, the Court of Appeal released its judgments in the case of The Law Society of Ireland v The Motor Insurers' Bureau of Ireland [2016] IECA 60. The MIBI had appealed the High Court ruling that it was liable to pay out in respect of claims against persons who were insured with Setanta at the time of its entry into liquidation. The appeal was unanimously rejected. On the same day, Insurance Ireland released a statement reiterating its concerns that liquidation has become a viable option for imprudent insurers and its call for urgent legislative change on this issue. According to Insurance Ireland, the judgment will result in adding €90m in costs to the insurance sector; impacting pricing and creating uncertainty for the sector and customers.

the effect of pulse-width modulation on the error of induction electricity meters and on losses in an asynchronous motor
Effect of pulse width modulation for error induction electricity meters and losses in asynchronous the engine
Siberian State Automobile and Highway Academy (SibADI)
The results of a study of the error of induction counters of electric energy as well as electric losses in an asynchronous motor under conditions of a high level of harmonics in current and voltage curves are presented using the Mitsubishi frequency inverter ( E 500 FR - E 540-5.5 K - EC ) in as a source of nonsinusoidal voltage. It is shown that the error of induction counters of electric power and electric losses in an asynchronous motor with non-sinusoidal regimes in circuits with PWM increase by several tens of percent.
As is known, in power supply systems in connection with the increase in electricity consumers operating in the pulsed mode, as well as systems with pulse-width modulation (PWM), frequency converters in electric drive systems with asynchronous motors, nonlinear loads, thyristor converters, etc. a high level of higher harmonics arises.
In this regard, the issue of measuring electrical energy under these conditions remains relevant, despite the fact that a significant amount of work has been devoted to the measurement of electrical energy, both under sinusoidal regimes and under conditions of non-sinusoidal electromagnetic processes, for example [1: 6] .
To measure electrical energy in power supply systems, both induction and electronic electricity meters are currently used. Moreover, the latter are most often based on analog-digital converters using microprocessor calculators, that is, in the process of calculating the electric power, the time measurement is quantized and the input signals proportional to the current values of the current and voltage on the load are quantized, which inevitably generates an error in calculating the energy.
In this paper, we present the results of a study of the error of induction counters of electric energy, as well as power losses in an asynchronous motor under conditions of a high level of harmonics in the current and voltage curves. At the same time, a special electronic electric energy meter was used, which allows obtaining reliable information in conditions of non-sinusoidality caused by PWM.
As such an electronic counter, a specially designed electronic counter has been used for this purpose, providing, with a sufficiently high accuracy, the calculation of the current value of electricity in comparison with the induction counter, in accordance with the expression:
Where - instantaneous value of voltage on the load;
- instantaneous value of the load current;
- current measurement time.
In the structural scheme of such a counter as a multiplier of instantaneous values and a pulse multiplier, a pulse integrator and a digital pulse counter are used, which makes it possible to provide a total error in measuring the current electric power of the order of several tenths of a percent (0.1¸0.2%) under conditions of a high level of higher harmonics at frequencies of a multiple of 50 Hz, frequencies of several tens of kilohertz, and use it as an exemplary means of measuring electrical energy.
This paper does not attempt to describe the complete structural and principal electrical circuits of such a meter (such information can be provided to interested organizations and institutions). One of the tasks is to determine the possible level of induction meter error in non-sinusoidal modes with a high level of distortion of the current and voltage curves on the load.
The studies were carried out using a Mitsubishi E 500 FR - E 540-5.5 K - EC frequency converter with a nominal power of 5.5 kW. As a load, heating elements and an induction motor were used. The block diagram of the installation with the heating elements and the time diagrams of the currents and voltages are shown in Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 .
Fig. 1. Structural diagram of the installation: Wh 1, Wh 3 - induction electricity meters CO 505; Wh 2, Wh 4 - electronic electricity meters; TT - current transformer; ДН - the gauge of pressure; PE - frequency converter; R n is the load resistance.
Before the experiment under non-sinusoidal conditions, a check was made beforehand to identify the readings of the electronic and inductive counters when operating for the same load in a mode close to the sinusoidal. The diagram of switching on the devices is shown in Fig. 3. The time diagram of the stress curve on the load is shown in Fig. 2a .

at the input and output of the emergency for the case of a linear active load
Fig. 3. Scheme of checking induction and electronic counters on
identification of readings with a mode close to sinusoidal
During the experiment, the following operating mode of the frequency converter was used:
- Frequency of the fundamental harmonic of the voltage at the output of the FP is f = 50 Hz;
- frequency of PWM voltage at the output of the emergency - 1 kHz;
- load resistance of the frequency inverter R H = 38 Ohm (mode close to the nominal)
Several experiments were carried out with a fairly accurate measurement of the operation time of the electricity meters and recording their readings.
According to the indications of electronic energy meters, the average value of the efficiency of the frequency converter is determined at the specified load:
Where - average value of output power;
- average value of power consumption;
(The standard deviation of the readings from the mean was 0.05%)
As a result of the measurements performed according to the scheme in Fig. 1 , relative values were set differences in the readings of electronic and inductive electricity meters in percents on input and output of emergency, which, taking into account statistical processing, were as follows:
, .
From the results obtained it follows that for the same load values under conditions of non-sinusoidal modes in PWM circuits, the basic error of the induction counters is several tens of times greater than their basic error in the sinusoidal regime.
The above results are obtained, as already mentioned, for a linear active load. Due to the fact that PE is used mainly to supply asynchronous motors (AD) for the purpose of regulating the speed, an experiment was conducted to determine the power loss in the AD by powering it from the emergency. Mitsubishi E 500 FR - E 540-5.5 K - EC . For the experimental studies, the asynchronous motor AIR100 L 2 Y 3 (rated power 5.5 kW, 3000 rpm) was used. As the load of the AD, a generator of direct current with mixed excitation loaded onto the heater is used. Preliminary measurements were made of the power of the BP consumed and the load in the sinusoidal mode. After processing the experimental data, it was found that, when the BP is supplied from PE, all other things being equal, the power losses in the blood pressure increase by 30% compared to the sinusoidal regimen. This leads to a change in the thermal regime of blood pressure and the need to reduce its load. The reasons for the increase in losses in blood pressure under non-sinusoidal regimens are known and are not discussed in this paper. The main goal was to establish the level of these losses.
1. For the first time, the level of the basic error (tens of percent) of the induction counters of electric energy in the non-sinusoidal conditions created by PWM was experimentally established.
2. Losses in regulated asynchronous motors, powered by PE, also increase by several tens of percent compared to the standard power mode, which leads to overheating of the AD and the need to reduce the load power.

Pascale and her team did an excellent job of insulating my townhouse. They arrived on time, a bit early , which is fine and worked very hard and were always professional during the course of the two day project. They even cleaned up after themselves and I would use them again. I would also recommend them to anyone that needs insulation done to their home.

Product Information
McAfee Hercules Policy Auditor
McAfee, Inc
$71.75/node (5,000 or more nodes; pricing varies depending on quantity), plus support
Quick Read
Support for many operating systems and the ability to take input from vulnerability scanners.
The product is difficult to install and very complex to manage.
Verdict: For the largest enterprises, this product might be a fit. It requires a significant time investment from the administration staff to configure and administer the Hercules product.
The Hercules Policy Auditor and Remediation Manager are the products that were formerly known as the Citadel Hercules product. These products have one very unique feature: they can input the output from popular vulnerability scanners — pretty much any scanner that uses the CVE (common vulnerability exploit) numbering scheme — and use the product to remediate the vulnerability. The Hercules product supports a large number of operating systems, including several variants of Unix, Linux, Microsoft and Mac systems.
Installation of Hercules Policy Auditor and Remediation Manager is quite tricky. The Policy Auditor appears only to install on Windows 2003 Servers with no Active Directory components installed, but the product requires .net, Internet Information Server (IIS) and Microsoft SQL Server. Once the underlying OS is configured, the installation of the Hercules packages can begin. The Policy Auditor has four main components: the download server, the main Hercules server, the channel server and the reporting server. Each component requires some attention to detail, and it is necessary to refer back to the installation and user guides.
There are many PDFs available for this product and all the PDFs are indexed and searchable. Most of the PDFs are pretty lengthy, so having the index is quite handy. We found the installation and the quick-start guides to be the most valuable in this test.
McAfee offers many different levels of paid support for the Hercules product. Options vary from 8x5 phone support to 24/7 support.
The McAfee Hercules Policy Auditor and Remediation Manager is at the upper end of cost when compared with other products tested in this group, but the Hercules product is also quite feature rich and includes support for many different operating systems. It is quite clear that Hercules is aimed at large enterprises. Cost of ownership, of course, must be considered in context with additional cost of support. Taken together this is not an inexpensive product, but considering its target implementation, the value for the money is good.

You've probably seen a plethora of products around the web geared towards men's hair loss, but you should know that they exist for a good reason: hair loss in men is prevalent, and there are a ton of common reasons behind this unfortunate event. Some of these reasons are so basic, that men don't know they are the culprit behind the lack of hair. While not all of the reasons deal directly with the gene pool, there are ways to can prevent hair loss when you pinpoint the reasoning.
Now, let's look at common reasons why hair loss can happen instead of automatically ruling that you have cancer or a heart problem.
If you've been seeing an increase in your baldness after hitting the gym and getting in shape, that may be your issue. While fitness keeps you healthy, resistance training, especially high-resistance, causes an increase in your testosterone. While it's awesome for your fitness goals and workouts, it's not the best, as DHT will end up ruining your hair follicles.
While hormone replacement therapy is great for those that actually need it, using it to encourage your sex drive or promote muscle gain may actually be working against your favor. If you have a history of male pattern baldness in your family, you're only adding ammunition to the gun of hair loss when using hormone replacement therapy.
Those that suffer from scalp inflammation could be disabling their hair from growing due to their hair follicles not being healthy. When this happens, your roots become clogged and will further encourage itchiness, which relates directly to inflammation and becomes a never-ending cycle that interrupts your hair growth.
Unfortunately, those that suffer from auto immune disorders may see an increase in their baldness. Whether male or female, diseases like alopecia can attack the follicles of your hair which disrupt the growth of cells and tissues. The production of hair, and fibers in the hair are interrupted because of this autoimmune disease. While there aren't total cures, there are things to help encourage hair growth when your body doesn't want to do it on its own.
You should know by now that smoking doesn't promote anything healthy within your body and hair growth isn't excluded from this. When you smoke, the blood vessels within the skin become dehydrated and starved, leaving the most imperative nutrients to waste away. In the case of this, toxins then take their place and can disrupt hair growth entirely.
We know you're tired of hearing this next one, but a lack of sleep may be encouraging your hair to stop growing. They need their beauty rest, too! When your biological clock has a disruption of sorts, your hair follicles can suffer from this and create a stump in growth. There are ways to help encourage your hair growth when your schedule isn't on point, and that's the usage of platelet rich plasma.
While these aren't the only things stumping your hair growth, you should know that these are some of the primary culprits. Your eating habits may be an issue as well as many others. As GroomingAdepts said on their website, the world of hair growth isn't black and white – even if your hair is. When you pinpoint the culprit and address unhealthy areas of your life, you're able to encourage hair growth once again and become a Fabio-like hair icon.

If you are a man or woman that is going through the experience of baldness, there are several options to explore in trying to stimulate your hair growth again. The first step for most people is usually to use a topical medication like Rogaine or a pill like Propecia. If they start those types of treatments too late though, they may have to think about getting a surgical procedure like a micro-graft procedure to get that full head of hair back.
Not everyone is eligible for this treatment and you will have to go through some initial screening to see if you fit the criteria for eligibility. Patients who suffer from bleeding disorders or have shown the inability for a wound to properly heal are among those that will not be able to partake in this procedure.
The first thing that will be done is to locate a spot on the back of the head that is now susceptible to balding. Once the doctors have that area isolated, they will prep the area by trimming the hair and anesthetizing the spot for removal. The area of removal is then injected with a saline solution to make removal easier. Once the removal has occurred, the doctors will suture the area and comb the covering hair over and it will not be detectable.
The grafts are then prepared to be placed in the front portion of the head where the balding spot is at. The will make an incision and begin to place all of the micro-grafts in place. This is a series of placements of the sections that were removed in 1 amp;2 and 3 amp;4 hair follicle sections. There will literally be hundreds of small incisions where these are placed.
It actually sounds a lot scarier than it is as this is usually an out-patient process. While the area that has received the grafts will be initially a little red, the patient will feel very little discomfort and the area will usually heal in about 7-10 days. From that point forward, they should enjoy normal hair growth in the area of the transplant.
The micro-graft procedure has made great strides and is actually very impressive. You no longer have to worry about people pointing and laughing about hair plugs. This procedure is very advanced and more importantly, is very effective as a hair loss treatment to cure your baldness.
If you're looking for an alternative to hair loss surgery, get the facts the alternatives available to you.

Wednesday marks the two year anniversary that I've been writing for FiveWide. It's been a good time for me, and whether it continues for two more days, two more months, or two more years is something we'll have to wait and see.
But as I type this out, I am positively buzzing about the Cubs this year. Jake Arrieta is as dominant a pitcher as I've ever seen, and I'm old enough for that to mean something. To get to the 20-win plateau–which is something that no Cubs pitcher had done since before Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook were invented–Arrieta threw a three-hit complete game shutout against the hopelessly overmatched Milwaukee Brewers. These are major leaguers at the top of their game, and Arrieta made them look like a high school JV team. The home crowd loved every minute of it, I'm sure.
Jake's ERA was a paltry 2.66 at the time of the All-Star break, but apparently that wasn't good enough to make the team. Since that time, he's gone 10-1 and whittled his ERA down to 1.88. Oh, and he also threw a no-hitter along the way. Just give him the Cy Young award now and be done with it. Zack Greinke's already got one, anyway.
There's some legitimate debate about whether Jake will get the Cy Young award, but there's no doubt that Kris Bryant will win the NL Rookie of the Year award. He's now at the doorstep of 100 RBIs, with a week and a half left in the season and two lost weeks down at Triple-A. Who can make the case that Mike Olt was ever ahead of this guy? Certainly not I.
The Cubs keep on winning, but they can't make up any ground unless the Cardinals and/or Pirates decide to lose a game. The two-game lead that the Pirates have over the Cubs for the first wild card spot can be made up by a sweep in Wrigley Field this weekend, but taking two of three games may be enough, if the Cardinals can take out the Pirates in their remaining series in Pittsburgh. That's not a given, though, since the Pirates have one of the best home records in the game this season.
The Cubs need to snatch the wild card game away from Pittsburgh in the closing days of the regular season. Lots of Cubs fans want to be there in person, and any advantage in a one-and-done situation will help.
Here's hoping that the next month will be an exciting time in Chicago, the kind that no living Cubs fan has seen before.

Judicial Reform—A Just Cause
John C. Kyriakides, Partner at Kyriakides Georgopoulos Law Firm and Chairman of the Chamber's Legislative Reform Committee, discusses the reforms needed within the Greek judicial system leading to a more effective, efficient, and productive social and economic environment.
What is the key problem in the justice system today?
The Greek judicial system is going through a serious crisis and, as a consequence, has lost its credibility with Greek society and the international business community.
To be clear, I do not refer to corruption but solely and specifically to the time it takes to resolve disputes in Greece. The legal maxim justice delayed is justice denied couldn't better describe this phenomenon as it has evolved over the past decade.
According to the EU Justice Scoreboard released in April 2016, Greece ranks among the last countries regarding the time it takes to resolve disputes. Every practitioner knows that in civil cases a dispute may take up to six or eight years to reach the Supreme Court; in administrative cases the petitioner will have to wait at least seven years before recourse is introduced for a hearing at the first instance level and, in criminal cases, felony offences are usually heard some six years after the filling of the criminal complaint against the perpetrator. This is a huge problem and I would like to see the judicial and legislative powers work moretogether toward restoring the lost credibility and reliability of the system. A start was done with the introduction of the new civil procedure rules effective as of January 1st, 2016. But clearly it's not enough.
What are the obstacles to reform?
First, and foremost, there is a lack of genuine willingness and professionalism on behalf of politicians, lawyers and judges to make deep and substantial reform. Second, there are no funds to upgrade the system, to hire more judges and prosecutors, and to improve resources, such as manpower, technology, courtrooms, information systems and the like.
How do businesses and citizens suffer due to this dysfunctional system?
Everyone suffers from a dysfunctional system. Not only businesses and citizens, but the State as well. A dysfunctional legal system harms the real economy.
Imagine you run a company and a supplier provides you with defective materials. Just before delivering these items to your customer, you realize that the entire production is worthless. Your supplier refuses to accept liability so you must take legal action to be compensated for your loss. Despite the fact that as an entrepreneur you act swiftly and take all appropriate measures, it takes several years until you end up with an exequatur in your hands; and by that time your supplier has filed a petition for bankruptcy and there are no assets against which you can satisfy your claim. Has justice been rendered in this instance? Technically yes but in essence, obviously not. You, the entrepreneur, couldn't care less about having an exequatur in your hands that is useless. There is no value left in this judgment which is drained of value by the time it has taken to obtain it.
With this example I want to emphasize that when someone has suffered an injury he or she must be given a speedy, just and fair resolution. If legal redress is not rendered within a reasonable time, it is effectively the same as having no redress at all.
As a result, what are some of the losses to the Greek economy, employment, and competitiveness?
This is glaringly simple yet it baffles me how we, as a nation, continuously fail to see the obvious.
An effective judicial system plays a crucial role in upholding the rule of law. Investors consider this a fundamental prerequisite in choosing business friendly environments. How can Greece attract investment if the perception of its judicial system is at such low levels? Greece, in the Doing Business index of The World Bank (2016 edition), ranks 61st (having lost 3 places) in the overall ranking; 82nd in 'getting credit' and 133rd in 'enforcing contracts.' A country with such a low ranking, combined with increased bureaucracy, high taxation and an ineffective judicial system, will obviously not attract investment. As a consequence, new jobs will not be created, revenues will not be generated, and the spending of households will not grow. This leads with mathematical certainty to the collection of fewer direct and indirect taxes for the State and to the collection of lower social security contributions by the social security funds. Everyone loses—businesses, citizens, the employed and unemployed and, most important, the State itself.
How can we begin to create win-win synergies among all stakeholders?
We must educate all key players, including lawyers who often oppose change, to understand the importance of introducing major reforms in our legal system. Although everyone accepts that the courts are slow in resolving legal disputes, either because the system is too complex or overburdened, in essence each time changes are introduced they are usually criticised on personal criteria and not on the basis of the economy's interest.
It is important to change perception. The world is evolving fast and the judicial system and the people serving it must adapt to the changes with the same speed. Former Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Delaware, Justice Myron T. Steele, at his address at the International Law Conference cohosted by the Chamber and the American Bar Association in Athens in June 2015, said that citizens and businesses of the State of Delaware were "potential clients." Initially, I was puzzled to listen to a judge refer to litigant parties and advocates as his "clients." On second thought however, I realized how right he was in his perception. Justice is a "public" service like any other. And it needs to be efficient, reliable, friendly, effective and attractive to citizens. If this happens it will also be so to investors.
How can the Chamber, especially through its Legislative Reform Committee, catalyze dialogue, understanding and, ultimately, change?
The Legislative Reform Committee, like all committees of the American-Hellenic Chamber of Commerce, brings together experts, hosts events such as conferences and seminars, and develops position papers, to assist in policy formation, legislation, and government action. Our most recent project, a survey conducted with the collaboration of the U.S. National Center for State Courts, is a needs assessment of the Greek justice system designed to gather the perceptions of judges, lawyers, government agencies, the business community, and other stakeholders about the strengths and weaknesses of the judicial system and to identify opportunities for change to improve public trust and confidence in the Greek courts—by the public and the international business community. The findings of the survey will be published very soon.
If the perception of key stakeholders does not change, nothing will improve. The Greek judicial system is crying out loud about the need to be modernized, to become less complex and less overburdened. It is inconceivable to think that a corporation has to wait seven years to see recourse against an act of the State, for example a tax ruling, being introduced to trial.
The Chamber, I am proud to say, is always at the disposal of policymakers to provide best practices, fresh ideas and substantial contribution to all good efforts.
What tangible benefits do you believe would result for Greeks if effective reforms were to be implemented?
Let me provide a simple example. To file for a divorce petition in the UK all procedures can be done online, by the couple, without involving solicitors and without having to go to a court hearing. The petition is filed online and the court deals with the divorce based on the paperwork. By simplifying procedures we help efficiency, which in turn contributes to fostering economic growth. Factors such simplifying procedures, making better use of existing human resources and ensuring that only those cases that really have to end up in the courtrooms, are all essential parameters of an effective justice system.
In other words, justice will be less burdensome, less expensive, more effective and more impartial for all citizens and businesses if we proceed with appropriate reform.
